Premio Pulitzer 2025 * National Award Prize 2024 James es un libro fascinante, una reescritura de Las aventuras de Huckleberry Finn de Mark Twain desde el punto de vista de Jim, el esclavo. Con una inteligencia sobrecogedora, Percival Everett es capaz de demoler las absurdas barreras del racismo. Sentimos la igualdad natural en esta aventura y entendemos que el robo del lenguaje es fundamental en cualquier tipo de esclavitud. En ese sentido, James resuena en nuestro presente. James es el nombre de la dignidad. El esclavo ha visitado de forma clandestina la biblioteca de su amo y ha aprendido a leer y escribir. Entonces, se entera de que lo han vendido y que lo van a separar de su mujer y su hija. Decide escaparse. En esa aventura trepidante lo acompa a Huck. Los dos se convierten en una pareja de personajes que se necesitan mutuamente no solo para sobrevivir, tambi n para conocerse y mantener cierta humanidad. El lenguaje es fundamental en este libro de lectura trepidante construido casi enteramente a trav s del di logo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Pulitzer Prize 2025 * National Award Prize 2024 James is a fascinating novel--a reimagining of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn told from the perspective of Jim, the enslaved man. With staggering insight, Percival Everett dismantles the absurd barriers of racism. We feel the natural equality in this journey and understand that the theft of language is central to every form of enslavement. In that sense, James resonates deeply with our present. James is the name of dignity. The enslaved man has secretly visited his master's library and taught himself to read and write. When he learns he's been sold and will be separated from his wife and daughter, he decides to escape. Huck joins him on this gripping adventure. Together, they become a pair who need each other not only to survive, but to understand themselves and preserve their humanity. Language is at the heart of this fast-paced novel, built almost entirely through dialogue.
BOKEN SOM TAGIT USA MED STORM OCH SÅLTS I ÖVER 1 MILJON EXEMPLAR! "De två vita pojkarna, Huck och Tom, spanade på mig. Som vanligt befann de sig mitt uppe i en sorts låtsaslek där jag antingen var skurk eller villebråd, men tveklöst deras leksak." När slaven Jim hör att hans ägare tänker sälja honom till någon i New Orleans och separera honom från hans familj bestämmer han sig för att gömma sig på den närliggande ön Jackson Island och tänka ut en lösning. Under tiden har Huck Finn iscensatt sin egen död för att fly från sin våldsamme far som nyligen har kommit tillbaka till staden Hannibal. Där och då startar den farliga resan för Huck Finn och slaven Jim – som i själva verket heter James – längs Mississippifloden i syfte att ta sig till de fria staterna och det som finns bortanför dem. Vem är James? En ung illitterat slav som har rymt från plantagen, eller en bildad man med humor, som i hemlighet driver med de vita? James låtsas ofta att han inte kan något, att han inte förstår någonting. I själva verket behärskar han både språket och tanken som få andra. Med James förvandlar Percival Everett karaktären Jim, skapad av Mark Twain i klassikern Huckleberry Finn, till en oförglömlig hjälte. Denna storslagna äventyrsroman, buren av Mississippis virvlande strömmar, ger ett helt nytt perspektiv på rasismens historia. Men framför allt är James en gripande berättelse om en man som kämpar för rätten att själv välja sitt öde.
Pulitzer- & National Book Award -voittaja! Mississippijoki, 1861. Kun orjuutettu Jim aiotaan myydä uudelle omistajalle, hän ottaa kohtalon omiin käsiinsä. Pakomatkallaan Jim tapaa nuoren Huck Finnin, joka on lavastanut oman kuolemansa kadotakseen väkivaltaisen isänsä ulottumattomiin. Yhdessä kaksikko joutuu vaaralliselle, molempien elämän mullistavalle seikkailulle pitkin Mississippijokea. Vastarannalla siintää epävarma lupaus vapaudesta. Yhdysvaltalaiskirjailija Percival Everettin ensimmäinen suomennos on nerokas, teräviä havaintoja ja huumoria kihisevä uudelleentulkinta klassikkoromaani Huckleberry Finnin seikkailuista. Siinä orjat ovat aktiivisia toimijoita, joiden kielellisen taituruuden kautta ilmenevä herkkä älykkyys vakuuttaa, vaikuttaa ja viihdyttää. Romaani on myynyt yli kaksi miljoonaa kappaletta, se käännetään 33 kielelle, ja se on saanut lukuisia arvostettuja kirjallisuuspalkintoja ja -ehdokkuuksia.
The unlikely narrator through this tale of misadventures is one Curt Marder: gambler, drinker, cheat, and would-be womanizer. It's 1871, and he's lost his farm, his wife, and his dog to a band of marauding hooligans. With nothing to live on but a desire to recover what is rightfully his, Marder is forced to enlist the help of the best tracker in the West: a black man named Bubba.

In a literary reversal as deadly serious as it is wickedly satiric, this novel by the acclaimed French-speaking African writer Abdourahman A. Waberi turns the fortunes of the world upside down. On this reimagined globe a stream of sorry humanity flows from the West, from the slums of America and the squalor of Europe, to escape poverty and desperation in the prosperous United States of Africa. It is in this world that an African doctor on a humanitarian mission to France adopts a child. Now a young artist, this girl, Malaïka, travels to the troubled land of her birth in hope of finding her mother—and perhaps something of her lost self. Her search, at times funny and strange, is also deeply poignant, reminding us at every moment of the turns of fate we call truth.

Craig Suder, third baseman for the Seattle Mariners, is in a terrible slump. He's batting below .200 at the plate, and even worse in bed with his wife; and he secretly fears he's inherited his mother's insanity. Ordered to take a midseason rest, Suder instead takes his record of Charlie Parker's ""Ornithology,"" his record player, and his new saxophone and flees, negotiating his way through madcap adventures and flashbacks to childhood (""If you folks believed more strongly in God, maybe you wouldn't be coloured""). Pursued by a raging dope dealer, saddled with a mishandled elephant and an abused little white girl, he manages in the end to fly free, both transcending and inspired by the pull of so much life.

Istorija rasskazana glazami Dzhima, togo samogo raba, vmeste s kotorym Gek otpravljaetsja v opasnoe puteshestvie po reke Missisipi. Mnogie detali sjuzheta sokhraneny, no Dzhim, tochnee, Dzhejms, predstaet pered nami v novom, sovershenno neozhidannom svete. Everett napisal roman o stremlenii k svobode, o tom, chto trebuetsja, chtoby etu svobodu zapoluchit. "Eti malenkie negodniki pritailis v vysokoj trave. Luna, pust esche i ne polnaja, svetila jarko i stojala kak raz za nimi, tak chto ja videl ikh jasnee jasnogo, khotja i bylo uzhe ochen pozdno. Vozle chernoj kholstiny vilis svetljaki. Ja dozhidalsja u kukhonnoj dveri miss Uotson, pokachivaja nogoj rasshatavshujusja stupenku: zavtra khozjajka navernjaka velit ee pochinit. Ja zhdal, poka miss Uotson vyneset mne skovorodu s kukuruznym khlebom, kotoryj ona ispekla po retseptu moej Sedi. Vsja zhizn dlja raba - splosh ozhidanie: zhdesh-pozhdesh i snova zhdesh. Zhdesh ukazanij. Zhdesh kormezhki. Zhdesh skonchanija dnej. I v dovershenie vsego zhdesh zasluzhennogo i spravedlivogo khristianskogo vozdajanija. Eti belye postreljata, Tom s Gekom, nabljudali za mnoj. Oni vechno vydumyvali zabavy, v kotorykh ja byl to zlodeem, to zhertvoj, no nepremenno igrushkoj dlja nikh. Nosilis v burjane sredi kleschej, komarov i prochikh kusachikh moshek, no mne vse-taki ne dokuchali. Odnako belym nadobno potakat, tak chto ja spustilsja vo dvor i vykriknul v temnotu: - Ento kto esche tam vpotmakh? Oni zakhikhikali, neukljuzhe zakoposhilis. Eti malchishki ne sumejut podkrastsja i k slepoglukhomu, dazhe esli budet igrat orkestr. Chem s nimi vozitsja, luchshe uzh tratit vremja na pereschet svetljakov. - Neshto sest na kryltso da pozhdat, vdrug opjat chego i uslyshu. Ne roven chas, tam vedma ali nechistyj. Pobudu uzh luchshe tut, gde menja, starika, ne dostanut". Perevod Julii Polischuk
Kritiki obraschali nekotoroe vnimanie na romany Teloniusa Elliota, no pisatelskaja karera zastoporilas. Ego poslednij roman otvergli 17 izdatelstv, emu nikak ne probitsja v vysshie eshelony pisatelskogo soobschestva. I on s razdrazheniem i obidoj nabljudaet za tem, kak roman o zhizni afroamerikantsev, napisannyj zhenschinoj, kotoraja odnazhdy posetila na paru denkov rodstvennikov v Garleme, stanovitsja bestsellerom. Elliot kak by v otmestku pishet svoj roman o getto, kotoryj i publikovat-to ne sobiraetsja, odnako izdatelstvo ego pokupaet, i eta kniga stanovitsja superbestsellerom.
